Germany is set to host Portugal in a high-energy UEFA Nations League semifinal at the Allianz Arena in Munich this Wednesday. With the winner advancing to face either France or Spain in the championship final, both teams aim to break new ground in a fiercely competitive clash.
At home, Germany has been nearly unbeatable – losing just one of their last 13 games – and they have dominated their previous five encounters with Portugal. In fact, the last time Portugal managed a win over Germany dates back to UEFA Euro 2000, over 25 years ago!
This match is extra special as star player Joshua Kimmich is on the verge of his 100th national team appearance, making him only the 14th player in the history of Germany to reach this milestone. ⚽🎉
Coach Julian Nagelsmann described the upcoming fixture as a "miniature Euros," voicing his excitement for what promises to be a memorable night of football. With passion, skill, and history on the line, fans around the world are in for an electrifying showdown!
